RECENT
OK of its type, but never particularly scary, funny or clever
A fun and engaging adventure, with disarming characters
A drama-comedy about consent and self-respect, not easily digested for all audiences
OLDER
Premiered in 1984: A lazily written, poorly acted, ridiculous and overlong sex romp
Premiered in 1962: Moving and darkly handsome, the play’s best moments skilfully highlighted by the filmmakers
AVERAGE
Originally shown in 2019-2023: Zappy entertainment, even if energy was beginning to wane in the last season
LONGER REVIEWS
Premiered in 1961: The screenplay has weaker moments, but this is a genuinely witty film
Premiered in 1924: A pleasure to behold, with obvious creativity and energy in many scenes
Premiered in 1962: Intense and provocative at the time, the film also has a terrifying score by Bernard Herrmann
